This is the second in a four part series of episodes where I will present for you the classic poem “The Waste Land” read by the poet T.S. Eliot.
This poem is the story of a soul in despair. Eliot writes about the loss of community and lack of societies “spiritual center”. To Eliot, modern European culture is a waste land, while in another sense he’s writing about the waste land of our own lives.
For me, this poem touches home in far too many ways. This is a deeply personal poem that requires a deeper contemplation than anything I could speak about on a podcast.
Listen to this with an open mind and heart and consider how you might live your life as a shining example to others as we walk through our own waste land.
